  • In this paper, a novel pest-natural enemy model with additional food source and Holling-(p+1) type functional response is put forward for plant pest management by considering multiple food sources for predators. The dynamical properties of the model are investigated, including existence and local asymptotic stability of equilibria, as well as the existence of limit cycles. The inhibition of natural enemy on pest dispersal and the impact of additional food sources on system dynamics are elucidated. In view of the fact that the inhibitory effect of the natural enemy on pest dispersal is slow and in general deviated from the expected target, an integrated pest management model is established by regularly releasing natural enemies and spraying insecticide to improve the control effect. The influence of the control period on the global stability and system persistence of the pest extinction periodic solution is discussed. It is shown that there exists a time threshold, and as long as the control period does not exceed that threshold, pests can be completely eliminated. When the control period exceeds that threshold, the system can bifurcate the supercritical coexistence periodic solution from the pest extinction one. To illustrate the main results and verify the effectiveness of the control method, numerical simulations are implemented in MATLAB programs. This study not only enriched the related content of population dynamics, but also provided certain reference for the management of plant pest.

    Bemisia tabaci is widely distributed in more than 90 countries and regions. It was recorded in China as far back as the 1940s and has become a major pest of fruits, vegetables and garden flowers [1,2,3]. Biologists have made many attempts to eliminate the effect of Bemisia tabaci on plants, including the use of pesticides, but the negative effect of pesticide is also evident. As an alternative way, the idea of biological control was put forward, and the key was to find the right natural enemy species of Bemisia tabaci. In view of the predatory relationship between Neoseiseius barkeri and Bemisia tabaci, Neoseiseius barkeri was regarded as one of the best biological control species of Bemisia tabaci due to its short development period, low death rate and high spawning rate. Moreover, Neoseiulus barkeri is commonly found in plants such as papaya, rice, mango and artemisia annua, and it has a number of food sources, feeding on phylloides, tarsus mites and gall mites, thrips, aphids, moths and whiteflies [4,5,6,7]. Plant pollen and insect honeydew are also complementary foods of Neoseiulus barkeri when prey is scarce. Therefore, Neoseiulus barkeri has a high survival rate in the wild and can provide good and sustainable control of plant pests [8,9,10].

    In natural ecosystems, predator-prey interactions are key determinants of species behavior, community species composition, and their dynamics. There exists a dynamic balance of predation and mutual selection between the two species during the long evolutionary process. In addition, the existence of predation relationships also affects and restricts the development of populations to a certain extent. Since mathematical models can provide an effective way for in-depth understanding of the mechanism, existence and stability of population growth, to reveal the effects of predation relationships between populations and their group effects on ecosystem stability, scholars have conducted extensive studies on the behavior of predator-prey models with different effects in recent years [11,12,13,14,15]. It should be pointed out that Lotka [16] and Volterra [17] initiated the earliest research work and built the classic Lotka-Volterra model from the perspective aspect of molecular chemistry and ocean ecological system respectively. For different application scenarios and real problems, in subsequent studies, many scholars extended the Lotka-Volterra model including proposals of logistic growth function [18], different functional responses [19,20,21] and so on [22,23,24,25,26]. The generalized Gause-type predator-prey model takes the following form

    {dxdt=rx(1xK)yφ(x),dydt=y[cφ(x)d], (1.1)

    where φ(x) characterizes the functional response of predator on prey. It was shown in experiments and analysis that Holling type functional response functions are basically applicable to different organisms, thus attracting the attention and research of many subsequent scholars, such as Holling type Ⅱ [11,21,23,27] and Holling type Ⅲ [28,29,30]. Yang et al. [31] introduced an extension form of the uptake function called Holling-(p+1) (p2), and discussed the dynamics of the proposed model by using p as an extended parameter. In this paper, Holling-type functional responses between Bemisia tabaci and Neoseiulus barkeri conforming to the extended form will also be considered.

    From the perspective of species protection and pest management point of view, providing additional food for predators in the predatory system has been regarded in the literature as one of the effective biological ways [32,33]. To further investigate the effect of additional food, scholars have carried out related researches on this topic [34,35,36]. For species like Neoseiulus barkeri, plant pollen and insect honeydew are always their complementary foods, so it is vital and practical to study the Bemisia tabaci and Neoseiulus barkeri system with additional food provision. To suppress the proliferation and spread of Bemisia tabacti, effective control strategies must be adopted. The concept of integrated pest management (IPM) was widely used in the mid to late 20th century [37,38], and it emphasizes an integration of different methods (biological, chemical and others) to minimize the use of harmful pesticides and other undesirable measures to control pests. To describe the instantaneous changes in biological populations caused by IPM strategies, impulsive differential equations (IDEs) can be used as a powerful tool to model this phenomenon [39]. Tang and Chen [40] developed the Lotka-Volterra model by introducing periodic impulsive control. Liu et al. [41] analyzed a Holling type Ⅰ pest management model with periodic impulsive control. Zhang et al. [42] and Pei [43] discussed the mathematical models concerning continuous and impulsive pest control strategies, respectively. Song and Li [44] discussed a Holling type Ⅱ Leslie-Gower model with periodic impulsive effect. Wang et al. [45] proposed a Watt-type prey-predator model with periodic impulsive effect. Qian et al. [46] analyzed a prey-predator model with competition of predator and periodic impulsive control. Tang et al. [47,48] and Pei et al. [49] discussed the optimum timing control problem. Besides, scholars had also introduced IDEs to model different situations, such as pest control [50,51,52,53], ecological system [54,55,56] and fishery exploitation [57,58,59,60]. In this work, we also applied an impulsive control strategy into the system to suppress the spread of Bemisia tabacti.

    The article is organized in the following way. In Section 2, a Bemisia tabaci and Neoseiulus barkeri model with additional food provision is established, and the dynamical properties such as the existence and local stability of equilibria as well as the existence of the limit cycle are analyzed. In Section 3, the Bemisia tabaci and Neoseiulus barkeri model with periodic impulsive control is put forward, and it is shown that the Bemisia tabaci can be eradicated as long as the period of control is less than a certain threshold, while for a larger control period, persistence of the system can be achieved. Using the bifurcation theory, it is shown that a supercritical coexistence periodic solution can be bifurcated from the pest-extinction one when the control period exceeds a certain time threshold. In Section 4, numerical simulations are implemented with the purpose of verifying the main results. At the end of the paper, a brief conclusion with practical significance is presented.

    Bemisia tabaci is a major pest of fruits, vegetables and garden flowers. Neoseiulus barkeri is considered an appropriate natural enemy against Bemisia tabaci, which is polyphagous and can maintain survival on plant pollen in a short time whenever Bemisia tabaci is scarce [8]. Based on this phenomenon, it is hypothesized that Bemisia tabaci and Neoseiulus barkeri follow the Holling-(p+1) functional response associated with additional food supply, i.e.,

    {dxdt=rx(1xK)γxpyq+xp+aηA,dydt=υγ(xp+ηA)yq+xp+aηAdy, (2.1)

    where

    x represents the density of Bemisia tabaci,

    y represents the density of Neoseiulus barkeri,

    r represents the Bemisia tabaci's intrinsic growth rate,

    K represents the Bemisia tabaci's environmental carrying capacity,

    p denotes the Holling index of the functional response, p2,

    γ denotes Neoseiulus barkeri's average capture rate of Bemisia tabaci,

    a denotes the ratio of Neoseiulus barkeri's handling time per unit of extra food to that per unit of prey,

    η denotes ratio of Neoseiulus barkeri's ability to find additional food to Neoseiulus barkeri's ability to find prey,

    A denotes the amount of extra food,

    d denotes the natural mortality rate of Neoseiulus barkeri,

    υ denotes the conversion coefficient.

    Since the additional food is only a secondary option, it cannot sustain the long-term survival of Neoseiulus barkeri, and the following hypotheses are assumed:

    A1) Without considering additional food sources, Neoseiulus barkeri will not become extinct due to the existence of Bemisia tabaci, i.e., υγd>0 holds in (2.1).

    A2) In absence of Bemisia tabaci, the additional food resource cannot maintain the survival of Bemisia tabaci, i.e., ηA¯ηAdq/(υγad) holds.

    For Bemisia tabacti, it is impossible to achieve the expected control effect by only relying on predator predation, so an additional control measure is required. Considering the seasonality and periodicity of the Bemisia tabaci occurrence, a periodic impulsive control strategy is introduced into the system, which can be formulated as follows:

    {dxdt=rx(1xK)γxpyq+xp+aηAdydt=υγ(xp+ηA)yq+xp+aηAdy}tjτ,Δx=κ1x(t)Δy=κ2y(t)+δ}t=jτ. (2.2)

    The illustration of (2.2) is as follows: At fixed times t=jτ(jN+), integrated management measures (i.e., release a certain amount of Neoseiulus barkeri (δ) and simultaneously kill a certain proportion of Bemisia tabaci (κ1), also result in a certain proportion of Neoseiulus barkeri (κ2) killed) are taken, which causes the densities of Bemisia tabaci x and Neoseiulus barkeri y to be immediately changed to (1κ1)x and (1κ2)y+δ.

    Define

    f(x,y)r(1xK)γxp1yq+xp+aηA,g(x)υγ(xp+ηA)q+xp+aηAd.

    For υγ>d, denote

    x=K_(d(q+aηA)υγηAυγd)1p,yr(KK_)[q+aηA+(K_)p]γK(K_)p1.

    Theorem 1. Model (2.1) always has a saddle point E0(0,0) and a boundary equilibrium EK(K,0). EK is globally asymptotically stable if ηA<ηA_(dq(υγd)Kp)/(υγad). The coexistence equilibrium E(x,y) exists in case of ηA_<ηA<¯ηA and is locally asymptotically stable if one of the constraints holds: 1) p¯p; 2) p<¯p and K<¯K, where

    ¯pd(q+ηA)υγηA(υγd)(q+aηA),¯K(1+q+aηA+K_pK_p(p1)(q+aηA))K_. (3.1)

    Proof. The Jacobi matrix is

    J=(f(x,y)+xfxxfyg(x)yg(x))=(r2rxKpγxp1y(q+aηA)(q+xp+aηA)2γxpq+xp+aηAυγpxp1y(q+(a1)ηA)(q+xp+aηA)2υγ(xp+ηA)q+xp+aηAd).

    1) For E0, there is

    JE0=(r00υγηAq+aηAd).

    By Assumption 2, there is υγηA/(q+aηA)d<0, then E0 is a saddle and unstable.

    2) For EK, there is

    JE2=(rγKpq+Kp+aηA0υγ(Kp+ηA)q+Kp+aηAd),

    the eigenvalues are λ1=r<0, λ2=(υγ(Kp+ηA))/(q+Kp+aηA)d. Thus, EK is locally asymptotically stable if ηA<ηA_=(dq(υγd)Kp)/(υγad).

    3) In case of ηA_<ηA<¯ηA, EK is unstable. Since

    fx=rKγy((p1)xp2(q+aηA)x2p2)(q+xp+aηA)2,fy=γxp1q+xp+aηA,g(x)=υγpxp1(q+(a1)ηA)(q+xp+aηA)2,

    then for E, there is

    λ1+λ2=xfx(x,y),λ1λ2=xyfy(x,y)g(x).

    Since fy(x,y)<0 an g(x)>0, then λ1λ2>0. If one of the conditions holds: 1) p¯p; 2) p<¯p and K<¯K holds, then fx(x,y)<0, that is λ1+λ2<0, thus, E is locally asymptotically stable.

    When the sign of inequality (3.1) is reversed, the coexistence equilibrium E becomes unstable. In this case, we have:

    Theorem 2. In case of p<¯p and K>¯K, there exists at least a limit cycle surrounding E.

    Proof. If p<¯p and K>¯K hold, then E(x,y) exists but is unstable.

    Next, we constructed a closed region G containing E, such that all solutions of (2.1) are bounded in G.

    1) Since

    dxdtx=K=γKpyq+Kp+aηA<0,

    then the trajectory of (2.1) will pass the line x=K from the right to the left.

    2) For the line lυx+yk=0, then y=kυx. Since

    dldt=υdxdt+dydt=rυx(1xK)+υγηAyq+xp+aηAdy,

    then

    dldtl=0=rυx(1xK)+υγηA(kυx)q+xp+aηAb(kυx):=h(x).

    Obviously, h(x) is a continuous bounded function and has a maximum for 0xK. Denote hmax=max{h(x)0xK}, so it is only to set k>hmax/m, then dldtl=0<0. So the trajectory of (2.1) will pass the line l from the top to the bottom. In addition, to ensure E lies in the region, there must be k>k1y+υx, so as to k>max{hmax/m,k1}.

    The straight lines x=0 and y=0 are both trajectories of (2.1), so x=K, y=kυx, the x-axis and the y-axis encloses a bounded region G. The well known Poincaré-Bendixson Theorem implies that there exists at least a limit cycle surrounding E in G.

    Remark 1. Theorem 2 gives the existence of limit cycles, but its uniqueness cannot be determined. Therefore, the stability of the limit cycle can not be determined, which remains an open problem. If the limit cycle is unique, then it is stable from two sides.

    In absence of Bemisia tabaci, a reduced subsystem is obtained

    {dxdt=0dydt=υγηAyq+aηAdy}tjτ,Δx=0Δy=κ2y(t)+δ}t=jτ. (3.2)

    The solution of (3.2) is

    ¯y(t)=δexp{(υγad)ηAdqq+aηA(tjτ)}1(1κ2)exp{(υγad)ηAdqq+aηAτ},t(jτ,(j+1)τ]

    with

    ¯y(0+)=δ1+(κ21)exp{(υγad)ηAdqq+aηAτ}.

    Theorem 3. For (2.2), there exists a pest-eradication periodic solution ˉz(t)=(0,¯y(t))((j1)τt<jτ). Moreover, for any solution y(t) of (3.2), there is y(t)¯y(t)(t).

    Proof. Clearly,

    ˉz(t)=(0,¯y(t))=(0,δexp{(υγad)ηAdqq+aηA(tjτ)}1(1κ2)exp{(υγad)ηAdqq+aηAτ})

    with ˉz(0+)=(0,¯y(0+)) is a pest-eradication periodic solution of (2.2).

    For 0<tτ, there is

    y(t)=y0exp{(υγad)ηAdqq+aηAt},

    then y(τ+)=(1κ2)y(τ)+δ.

    For τ<t2τ, there is

    y(t)=y(τ+)exp{(υγad)ηAdqq+aηA(tτ)}

    and y(2τ+)=(1κ2)y(2τ)+δ.

    Similarly, for (j1)τ<tjτ, there is

    y(t)=y((j1)τ+)exp{(υγad)ηAdqq+aηA(t(j1)τ)}

    and y((j1)τ+)=(1κ2)y(jτ)+δ.

    Then we have

    y(jτ+)=[(1κ2)exp{(υγad)ηAdqq+aηAτ}]jy0+1[(1κ2)exp{(υγad)ηAdqq+aηAτ}]j1(1κ2)exp{(υγad)ηAdqq+aηAτ}δ.

    Thus, for jτ<t(j+1)τ, there is

    y(t)=y(jτ+)exp{(υγad)ηAdqq+aηA(tjτ)}=(1κ2)j[y(0+)δ1(1κ2)exp{(υγad)ηAdqq+aηAτ}]exp{(υγad)ηAdqq+aηAt}+δexp{(υγad)ηAdqq+aηA(tjτ)}1(1κ2)exp{(υγad)ηAdqq+aηAτ}¯y(t)asn

    due to the assumption that qd+adηAυγηA>0.

    Theorem 4. For (2.2), ¯z(t)=(0,¯y(t)) is locally asymptotically stable and globally attractive if τ<τ0ln(1κ1)/r.

    Proof. Denote σ1(t)x(t), σ2(t)y(t)¯y(t). Then, (σ1,σ2) satisfies

    (σ1(t)σ2(t))=Φ(t)(σ1(0)σ2(0)),0t<τ,

    where Φ is the fundamental solution matrix, i.e.,

    dΦ(t)dt=(r00υγηAq+aηAd)Φ(t)

    with Φ(0)=I.

    Since

    (σ1(jτ+)σ2(jτ+))=(1κ1001κ2)(σ1(jτ)σ2(jτ)),

    then

    M=(1κ1001κ2)Φ(τ)=(1κ1001κ2)(erτ00exp{(υγad)ηAdqq+aηAτ})=((1κ1)erτ00(1κ2)exp{(υγad)ηAdqq+aηAτ}).

    Undoubtedly,

    μ1=(1κ1)erτ,μ2=(1κ2)exp{(υγad)ηAdqq+aηAτ}.

    According to Floquet theory, if τ<τ0=ln(1κ1)/r, then ¯z(t)=(0,¯y(t)) is locally asymptotically stable.

    Choose ϵ>0 such that

    (1κ1)exp{τ0(r(1xK)γxp1(¯y(t)ϵ)q+xp+aηA)dt}<(1κ1)erτ<1.

    Denote ρ(1κ1)exp{τ0(r(1xK)γxp1(¯y(t)ϵ)q+xp+aηA)dt}. Since ˙y>dy(t), then for system

    {dv(t)dt=dv(t)tjτΔz(t)=κ2v(t)+δt=jτz(0+)=y(0+)

    there is y(t)v(t)¯y(t) as t. Thus,

    y(t)v(t)>¯y(t)ϵ (3.3)

    holds when t is sufficiently large. Here it is assumed that (3.3) always holds. Since

    {dxdtrx(1xK)γxp(¯y(t)ε)q+xp+aηA,tjτx(jτ+)=(1κ1)x(jτ),t=jτ

    then x((j+1)τ)ρx(jτ), which means that x(jτ)x(0+)ρj and x(jτ)0 as n due to ρ<1. Since 0<x(t)x(jτ)(1κ1)erτ for jτ<t(j+1)τ, then x(t)0 as n.

    Next, for 0<ε<[(dq+adηAυγηA)/(υγd)]1p, T0>0, 0<x(t)<ε(tT0). Here, we suppose that 0<x(t)<ε(t0). Since

    by(t)dy(t)dt(υγ(εp+ηA)q+εp+aηAd)y(t),

    then there is ¯y(t)v1(t)y(t)v2(t)¯v2(t)(t), where v1(t), v2(t) satisfies the following two equations, respectively

    {dv1(t)dt=dv1(t),tjτ,Δv1(t)=κ2v1(t)+δ,t=jτ,v1(0+)=y(0+)

    and

    {dv2(t)dt=(υγ(εp+ηA)q+εp+aηAd)v2(t),tjτ,Δv2(t)=κ2v1(t)+δ,t=jτ.v2(0+)=y(0+)

    Since

    ¯v2(t)=δexp{(υγ(εp+ηA)q+εp+aηAm)(tjτ)}1(1κ2)exp{{υγ(εp+ηA)q+εp+aηAm)τ},jτ<t(j+1)τ,

    then ε1>0, T1>0, ¯y(t)ε1<y(t)<¯v2(t)+ε1(t>T1), and for ε0, there is ¯y(t)ε1<y(t)<¯y(t)+ε1 for t>T1, which means that y(t)¯y(t) when t+.

    Theorem 4 indicates that if the control period is less than τ0, then Bemisia tabaci will be completely eradicated from the system. However, from practical and economic aspects of point of view, it is impossible to take controls frequently. Therefore, it is necessary to consider that τ>τ0.

    Lemma 1. System (2.2) is bounded, i.e., M>0, there is max{x(t),y(t)}M holds for sufficiently large t.

    Proof. Denote L(t)=y(t)+υx(t). Then for tjτ,

    D+L(t)=υdxdt+dydt=rυx(1xK)υγxpyq+xp+aηA+υγ(xp+ηA)yq+xp+aηAdy=rυxrυKx2+(υγad)ηAdqdxpq+xp+aηAy.

    Thus

    D+L(t)+mL(t)=(r+m)υxrυKx2+(υγad+am)ηA+(md)(xp+q)q+xp+aηAy. (3.4)

    Define mmin{d,adυγa}. Clearly, for m=m/2, there is

    (υγad+am/2)ηA+(m/2d)xp+(m/2d)qq+xp+aηA<0,

    i.e., (3.4) is bounded. Then

    D+L(t)+mL(t)/2(r+m/2)υxrυKx2υK(r+m/2)24r:≜M0.

    For the system

    {D+L(t)mL(t)/2+M0,L(jτ+)L(jτ)+δ,

    there is

    L(t)L(0)em/2t+t0M0em(ts)/2ds+t>jτδem(tjτ)/2<L(0)emt/2+M0m/2(1emt/2)+δem(tτ)/21em/2τ+δemτ/2emτ/212M0m+δemτ/2emτ/21ast.

    Therefore, L(t) is bounded, which also means that M=M0m/2+δemτ/2emτ/21>0, max{x(t),y(t)}<L(t)M.

    For system (2.2), if M1,M2>0 and ¯T>0 such that M1x1(t)M2,M1x2(t)M2 for all t¯T, then it is said to be persistent.

    Theorem 5. System (2.2) is persistent in case of τ>τ0ln(1κ1)/r.

    Proof. By Lemma 1, there is

    max{x(t),y(t)}M2M0m+δemτ/2emτ/21.

    By (3.3), there is

    y(t)¯y(t)ϵ=δexp{(υγad)ηAdqq+aηA(tjτ)}1(1κ2)exp{(υγad)ηAdqq+aηAτ}ϵδexp{(υγad)ηAdqq+aηAτ}1(1κ2)exp{(υγad)ηAdqq+aηAτ}ϵ:≜ymin.

    Next, we show that x(t)xmin>0 for sufficiently large t, which is given below in two steps:

    Step 1: Choose xM>0 and ε>0, such that

    0<xM<(dq+adηAυγηAυγd)1p

    and

    ϱ0(1κ1)exp{rτrxMKτγxp1Mεq+aηA+xpMτγxp1Mq+aηA+xpMδ[exp{(υγ(xpM+ηA)q+aηA+xpMd)τ}1](υγ(xpM+ηA)q+aηA+xpMd)[1(1κ2)exp{(υγ(xpM+ηA)q+aηA+xpMd)τ}]}>1.

    It can be shown that x(t)<xM cannot be true for all t>0. Otherwise, due to

    dydt=υγ(xp+ηA)yq+xp+aηAbyυγ(xpM+ηA)yq+xpM+aηAdy,

    thus

    {dydtυγ(xpM+ηA)yq+xpM+aηAdy,tjτ,y(nT+)=(1κ2)y(jτ)+δ,t=jτ

    implies that y(t)u(t)¯u(t) as t by comparison theorem, where

    ¯u(t)=δexp{(b+υγ(xpM+ηA)q+aηA+xpM)(tjτ)}1(1κ2)exp{(b+υγ(xpM+ηA)q+aηA+xpM)τ},t(jτ,(j+1)τ]

    satisfies

    {dudt=υγ(xpM+ηA)uq+xpM+aηAdu,tjτ,u(jτ+)=(1κ2)u(jτ)+δ,t=jτ,u(0+)=y(0+)>0. (3.5)

    Therefore, T2>0, y(t)¯u(t)+ε when t>T2. This also means that

    dxdt=rx(1xK)γxpyq+xp+aηAx(rrxMKγxp1Myq+xpM+aηA)x(rrxMKγxp1M(¯u(t)+ε)q+xpM+aηA)fort>T2.

    Select ¯j1N+ with ¯j1τT2. Then,

    x((¯j1+1)τ)x(¯j1τ+)exp{(¯j1+1)τ¯j1τ[rrxMKγxp1M(¯u(t)+ε)q+xpM+aηA]dt}=ϱ0x(¯j1τ),

    so that x((¯j1+k)τ)x(¯j1τ)ϱk0(k), which contradicts to Lemma 1. Therefore, t1>0, x(t1)xM.

    Step 2: If x(t)xM(tt1) holds, the proof is completed. Define ¯t+inft>t1{x(t)<xM}, then the value of ¯t has two possible cases:

    1) ¯t=jτ,jN+. There is x(t)xM(t[t1,¯t]) and x(¯t+)=(1κ1)x(¯t)<xM. Since ϱ1=rrxMKγxMp1Mq+xMp+aηA<0, choose ¯j2,¯j3N+ such that

    ¯j2τ(υγ(xpM+ηA)q+aηA+xpMd)>ln(εM+δ),(1ϱ0)¯j3<(1κ1)¯j2exp((¯j2+1)ϱ1τ). (3.6)

    Let T3(¯j2+¯j3)τ, then it can be deduced that t2(¯t,¯t+T3] satisfies x(t2)>xM. Otherwise, x(t)xM(t(¯t,¯t+T3]) holds. By (3.5),

    u(t)=u(¯t+)exp{(υγ(xpM+ηA)q+aηA+xpMd)(t¯t)}=[u(¯t+)δ1+(κ21)exp{(d+υγ(xpM+ηA)q+aηA+xpM)τ}]exp{(υγ(xpM+ηA)q+aηA+xpMd)(t¯t)}+¯u(t).

    Then by (3.6),

    u(t)¯u(t)∣=|u(¯t+)δ1+(κ21)exp{(d+υγ(xpM+ηA)q+aηA+xpM)τ}|exp{(d+υγ(xMp+ηA)q+aηA+xMp)(t¯t)}<(M+δ)exp{(d+υγ(xMp+ηA)q+aηA+xMp)(t¯t)}<ε,

    which means that y(t)¯u(t)+ε, t[¯t+¯j2τ,¯t+T3]. In addition, take the same discussion on [¯t+¯j2τ,¯t+T3], and we get x(¯t+T3)x(¯t+¯j2τ)ϱ¯j30.

    Since

    {dxdtx(rrxMKγxMp1Mq+xMp+aηA),tjτ,x((jτ)+)=(1κ1)x(jτ),t=jτ, (3.7)

    for t(¯t,¯t+¯j2τ], then there is x(¯t+τ)(1κ1)x(¯t)exp{ϱ1τ} for t(¯t,¯t+τ]; x(¯t+2τ)(1κ1)2x(¯t)exp{2ϱ1τ} for t(¯t+τ,¯t+2τ]. Similarly, x(¯t+¯j2τ)(1κ1)¯j2x(¯t)exp{¯j2ϱ1τ} for t(¯t+(¯j21)τ,¯t+¯j2τ]. Then for t(¯t,¯t+¯j2τ], there is

    x(¯t+¯j2τ)x(¯t)(1κ1)¯j2exp{¯j2ϱ1τ}xM(1κ1)¯j2exp{¯j2ϱ1τ}.

    By (3.6), there is

    x(¯t+T3)x(¯t+¯j2τ)ϱ¯j30ϱ¯j30(1κ1)¯j2exp{¯j2ϱ1τ}xM>xM,

    which contradicts to x(t)xM on (¯t,¯t+T3]. Thus, t2(¯t,¯t+T3] satisfies x(t2)>xM.

    Denote ˜tinft>¯t{x(t)>xM}. For t(¯t,˜t), k¯j2+¯j3 such that t(¯t+(k1)τ,¯t+kτ](¯t,¯t+T3]. By (3.7), if t(¯t,¯t+τ], there is x(¯t+T)x(¯t+)exp{ϱ1τ}; if t(¯t+τ,¯t+2τ],

    x(¯t+2τ)x((¯t+τ)+)exp{ϱ1τ}=(1κ1)x(¯t+τ)exp{ϱ1τ}(1κ1)2x(¯t)exp{2ϱ1τ}

    Similarly, if t(¯t+(k1)τ,¯t+kτ], there is

    x(t)x[(¯t+(k1)τ)+]exp{ϱ1[t(¯t+(k1)τ)]}=(1κ1)x(¯t+(k1)τ)exp{ϱ1[t(¯t+(k1)τ)]}(1κ1)kx(¯t)exp{(k1)ϱ1T}exp{ϱ1[t(¯t+(k1)τ)]}xM(1κ1)kexp{kϱ1τ}xM(1κ1)¯j2+¯j3exp{(¯j2+¯j3)ϱ1τ}.

    Define xminxM(1κ1)¯j2+¯j3exp{(¯j2+¯j3)ϱ1τ}. Then there is x(t)xmin for t(¯t,˜t). For t>˜T, we can find a lower bound xmin of x in a similar procedure.

    2) ¯tjτ,jN+. Then x(¯t)=xM and x(t)>xM for t[t1,¯t). ¯j3N+ such that ¯t(¯j3τ,(¯j3+1)τ). For t(¯t,(¯j3+1)τ), there are two subcases:

    2-ⅰ) x(t)xM. In this case, we can claim that t2[(¯j3+1)τ,(¯j3+1)τ+T3] such that . Otherwise, there must be , . By (3.5), , thus

    for , where . Then, we have

    and for . Similar to the discussion in the first step, there is . In addition, for , there is . Integrating (3.7) for , if ,

    If , then

    Similarly, if , then

    Since , then for , there is , thus

    By (3.6), there is

    which contradicts to the assumption that on . Therefore, such that . Define , then for . For , such that , then by (3.7), there are

    Thus, for , there is

    Define . Then, for , while for , a similar procedure can be adopted.

    2-ⅱ) such that . Define , then, for . Similarly, (3.7) holds. The integration of (3.7) over gives that , while for , a similar procedure can be done.

    To sum up, , when is sufficiently large. Therefore, the persistence is proved.

    Theorem 6. The system (2.2) can bifurcate a supercritical coexistent periodic solution when .

    Proof. In order to be consistent with the branching theory in Appendix, let us make the transformation , , which leads to the following system

    (3.8)

    Thus, we have

    where are sufficiently smooth functions, are strictly positive and . The corresponding subsystem of (3.8) in the case of is

    which has a stable periodic solution denoted as

    Thus, is the boundary period solution of (3.8). Let , . Then, we obtain

    and thus, we have

    Therefore, , which means that (2.2) can bifurcate from the boundary periodic solution to a supercritical coexistent periodic solution.

    To illustrate the main results and verify the effectiveness of the control method, numerical simulations are implemented in MATLAB programs. The biological parameters in the models are chosen as follows: , , , , , , , , .

    By Theorem 1, it can be concluded that the dynamic properties of (2.1) depend on the magnitude of parameter for given , as illustrated in Figure 1.

    Figure 1.  Tendency of the solutions of (2.1) for different .

    For , there is , and in this case, is globally asymptotically stable, as illustrated in the left subplot of Figure 1. In such situations, predator species will go extinct, which is not the result we want. To ensure the survival of predators, the conversion rate of predators has to be increased by themselves, i.e., .

    For , there is , then exists and is locally asymptotically stable due to , as illustrated in the middle subplot of Figure 1. It can be easily checked that , i.e., the additional food availability induces the coexistence of the two species.

    For , there is , then is unstable and a limit cycle exists, as illustrated in the right subplot of Figure 1. It can be observed that the limit cycle is unique, so it is orbitally asymptotically stable.

    Figure 2 shows the impact of additional food resource on the pest and natural enemy in the coexistent steady state. It can be observed that decreases as increases, and varies with and is influenced by . For , increases as increases; for , increases first, and then decreases as increases; while for , decreases as increases.

    For (2.2), it is assumed that , and . When , the pest-eradication periodic solution is locally asymptotically stable and globally attractive, as presented in Figure 3. Although the pest is eradicated in this situation, it requires a frequent control, which is neither necessary nor desirable for practical systems.

    Figure 3.  Time series and phase portrait of the solution of (2.2): , .

    When , the pest-eradication periodic solution is unstable, then a coexistence periodic solution exists, as shown in Figure 4.

    Figure 4.  Time series and phase portrait of the solution of (2.2): , .

    Figure 5 presents the coexistence periodic solution for different . It can be observed that the density of pests at control time increases as increases. This implies that the control period should be neither too small nor too large. This needs to be determined according to the actual situation, to ensure that the amount of pests cannot exceed its allowable threshold.

    Agricultural pests are an important factor that endanger agricultural production. Common pest control methods include chemical, biological, and IPM. In order to effectively solve the problem of pest control, we proposed a novel pest-natural enemy model with additional food sources and a generalized Holling type functional response of predators based on the consideration of multiple food sources of natural enemy species. The results showed that the natural enemy has a certain restraining effect on the hostile pests (Theorem 1, Figure 1) and the additional food availability induces a direct impact on the positive equilibrium (Theorem 1, Figure 2). For , is globally asymptotically stable. In such situations, predator species go extinct. This is not the result we want. To ensure the survival of predators, there has to be enough extra food available (i.e., ), or the conversion rate of predators has to be increased by themselves.

    In order to achieve the effect of rapid pest management, we introduced a periodic impulsive control into the system and established a pest management model. It was shown that the pest-eradication periodic solution exists and its stability depends on the control period (Figure 3) and when the control period is less than a given time threshold (i.e., ), the pest-eradication periodic solution is globally asymptotically stable. Although the pest is eradicated, it requires a frequent control, which is neither necessary nor desirable for practical systems. In fact, it is not necessary to remove all pests; as long as the amount of pests in the system does not exceed a certain threshold, it will not cause environmental and ecological harm. Thus, we magnified the period over which the control was imposed. The result showed that the system was persistent and a coexistence periodic solution exists as a supercritical branch when the control period exceeds the time threshold.

    Simulations indicated that the parameter directly impacts the local stability of the coexistence equilibrium. When , is locally asymptotically stable, while when , it loses the stability and a limit cycle occurs. For the control system, a pest-eradication periodic solution exists when (Figure 3), or a coexistence periodic solution exists when (Figures 4 and 5). It can be observed that the density of pest at control time increases as increases, so the control period should be neither too small nor too large. This needs to be determined according to the actual situation, to ensure that the amount of pests cannot exceed its allowable threshold. This study not only enriched the related content of population dynamics, but also provided certain reference for the management of plant pests.
